IDIOMS:
 (KGT 120):  This idiomatic expression [i.e. {bIQ ngaS HIvje'} "The cup contains water"] means "be quite mistaken, be totally wrong". 

(KGT 145):  [{bachHa'}] literally means something like "mis-shoot? -- that is, shoot wrongly. It is used in such constructions as {jIbachHa'pu'} ("I have made a mistake"; literally, "I have mis-shot"). The standard word meaning "err, make a mistake" is {Qagh}, as in {jIQaghpu'} ("I have make a mistake").
